Names and Labels

Why are they even allowed
For there not right
I have labels
Some I love
And some I hate
And some I just don’t get
Why is it that you can call me something
But if I call you that you get mad
Sometimes I wish we never met
Because everything just goes wrong
Nobody talking
And in a big fight
We try to make things better
But they just get worse
So now I think
What is the point
Why did we even met
For now I need new friends
Because I can’t trust you
And don’t like you
For my life is over because of you
So why the names
And why the labels
Its because you don’t care
You don’t care about hurting me
For you want me to cry
But I will stay strong
For I tries all I could.

Dream

Wish upon a star
Rub a lantern
Toss a coin
But no luck
Cause your not here
By my side
One more try
You are now here
But is it real
Or is it a dream
Because that is how it seems
It feels make believe
But you are there
I feel your touch
I feel you warmth
So my heart knows
That you are real
One day things go down
You don't see it at first
So you blow it off
All of a sudden gone
At first don't cry
It is just a thing
2 weeks later you hurt but don't know why
So you think hard
Then you cry
Your friends there to help
One to talk to
And the other to calm you
But the friends only help a little
One more friend
He asks what is wrong
I tell him because I trust him
I feel better now
But me heart is still ripped
My dream was real
But it was hard to believe
My dream came true
But crumbled at the end
What a dream

Let me know what you think.

Out and About

Water flows through the cracks.
Like rats in a maze…
Soft light pours into the streets
Cleansing the road
In the last breath of the day

The cold drizzle
Relives the neck
She’s laughing because…
She has my umbrella
In the first breath of the night

Pipe smoke and salt hit the nostrils
As we come in out of the rain
Smiles and laughs…
Soup, coffee, and a cigarette
To scare away the chills,
As the night continues breathing,

Hit the streets again
Still raining…
So she shares the umbrella
Starting home
For warmth and sleep
In The last breath of the night

A pretty smile

A pretty smile
On a worried face

She says everything is fine
But really she wants to die

Overdose
Nobody will notice
She thinks to herself

She decides not to go through with it
Instead she falls asleep

She’s to focused on
What others think
What they’ll say

Soap operas playing in her head
Crying her self to sleep
Every night

When she wakes up
She’s back to
Reality

She hides her thoughts
With a laugh and smile

Oh what a pretty smile
To bad no one knows
What it hides

What she hides with that
Pretty smile

What do you think?

Secret Man

One is the best
You help me with my stress
Two shows your eyes
That makes me feel alive
Three is your smile
That is there when I am sad
Four is because you are there
To comfort me when needed most
Five is the most important
Love all the way threw
Where are you my secret man
You seem to be hiding from me
I like five different people
But no one gives me everything
I want you but you are taken
Also everyone else
What should I do my secret man
I try to hide from everyone else
But you are not helping out
I want you in my life secret man
I don’t want to put you aside
Because maybe you’re the one
That I was looking for
I wish I could just tell you
But you wont understand
So now back to the beginning of
Where is my secret man

I when I wrote this poem I did not really like it at first. So I asked some of my friends what they thought about it. Well they said it was good so now you all can read it. Let me know what you think.

The five step like things are five things that are in my secret man.

Ha Ha... I Win!

We raise our glasses
To you my friend.

We make speeches
and we applaud.
You've helped us through so much.

You're in the front row,
red faced and modest,
but seeming quite content.

Dinner we spent
white sauce, red wine
who gets the last bread stick,
to celebrate you.

What's for dessert?.....

It doesn't feel like you should go.

Untitled

Why are you this way
I did nothing to you
I never lied to you
Or called you names
All I did was be your friend
I tried to be nice
But when you weren't
It was hard for me
To stay friends with you
For I tried to be your friend
I am giving up now
For you hate me
And I don't know you
Our friendshiip is gone
I wish it was still together
What happened to us
Why did we change
We are differnet now
1 year later
I have changed
I put it all behind me
But you have not changed one bit
You still holding on
Why our friendship

I wrote this poem yesterday because I had a friend that I lost a long time ago. Her and I never were really close.

I don't have a title for this poem yet. If you think of something please let me know.

Too scared to say

Too scared to say

Writing letters that
Will never get sent

Replaying songs
In my head

Replaying scenes
That I dread

Every time I think
Of you when
I hear that song
On the radio

Do you feel?
The same way

Tossing and turning
Thinking of you

Think of what
You’ll say

The day I
Say it

The day I
Tell you how I feel

Hey, this is something I wrote over the summer, hope you like it.

Love Has....

You fall in love with someone
And, all of the sudden you both start planning
When you want to have kids?
When you want to get married?
What you both want to do with your life?
But, in the end you look back on all of this
And realize
That is was love that made all of this happen
Love has...
The power that brought you guys together
Love has...
The bond that you can't share with anyone else
Love has...
The gift for you that you can't share with anyone else
After you realize what love brought you
You think
That if it wasn't for love
Where would I be?
What would I be doing?
Where would my life go?

This is my last poem I am going to post. Hope you love reading it....

I don't....

I don’t have much to say
I don’t have the words
To say what I feel

I don’t know
What I want
Or who I am

I don’t want to
Say to you

I don’t have
Anything to say

But you can go ahead
And talk away

I don’t what
You want me to
Say

I don’t know what
To do

Is life without you
Better or worse

If you have something
To say then say it

Say to my face

I don’t know how
To feel about this

I don’t know how
To talk to you
Or if I want too

I am lost and
Confused
And don’t know
What to do

I don’t know if

I Can take this anymore

Each Other

We need each other
For we have problems
Are lives are the same in many ways
Problems back and forth
We need each other
I will help you
As you would do for me
We know when help is needed
Even with out asking
WE have a close relationship like that
So cry on my shoulder
And talk with me
For I am here for you
I will help you threw it all
The pain and misery
For I know what you are going threw
That is why I am glad to call you
My friend

I have not posted a poem recently so I decided to post today. I hope you like it.

The Love for Another

Loving you
Was once a crime
Not knowing what to do
Or how to say it
But loving you
Like a sister
Made it all the difference
Then knowing it was a mistake
Taking you in
Being part of the family
Was just a lie
Getting close to someone
Just to break their heart
One right after another

I just thought of this poem like a second ago. And I thought you guys would like to read it. Enjoy...

Goodbye to Romance

She wonders through the night
Thinking of everything that made her happy
The way she would laugh
The way she would smile
The way she had the look on her face
When her boyfriend was taking her out
But now, all that happiness is gone
The laugh is gone, the smile is gone
The boyfriend is gone, everything is gone
She wonders through the night
Thinking of how her life is ruined
Her boyfriend died
Her parents didn't want her
SHe had no where to go
Nothing to make her happy
All she is now
Is sad, since everything is gone
She is sad all the time
And, no one to make her happy
Again

Depth of Despair

She walks through the creepy depth of despair
Hearinga howl in the night
Wondering which way to take
The howls get louder
As she walks more and more
The howls get closer
As she get creep more
She walks faster through the creepy depth of despair
As she wonders more
The howls get louder and louder
As she walks more
The howls get closer and closer
Makeing her dreped out more
The howls stop
Suddenly it's quite
And she doesn't know why
As soon as she turns around
A howl comes up to her face
And takes her life away

I wrote this poem last year. Not sure what it is about. I just thought of it and so I wrote it down. And now I am writing it for you guys. Hope you like it....

Shadows In The Wind...

I hear a voice cry through the win
I see a shadow in the air
I feel a thought in my mind
Shadows are in the wind

The cry gets louder through the wind
The shadow fades in the air
The thought get bigger in the wind
Shadows are in the wind

Finally...
The cry is gone
The shadow is gone
The thought is gone
Shadows in the wind are gone

I wrote this poem about a few years back. This poem is about my Grandma McGinnis. She died about 4 years ago. And this poem is dedicated to her....

I sit below an apple tree.

I sit below an apple tree
And watch the day before me
The woods are calm and so am I
With a good book by my side
When it starts to rain
I know that things are ok
Cause I have a poncho
And a thermos
With a little bit of cocoa
I was comfortable just sitting
When an apple fell from the tree

Falling…

And landed on top of me
A little melodramatic
I didn’t discover gravity

Or anything…

News is good
But a story’s better
Especially when it’s funny
When a writer cares
It’s never about money.

Thinking…

I want to roll down this hill
Just to see if I get hurt
Maybe I won’t
Maybe I will
I double-dog dare me.
As I sit below this apple tree.

Who Am I?

When I look at myself,
I see someone in side of me,
Who tells me something every
day that just be yourself instead
of someone else. Be yourself toher
wise on one will like you
Let people find out who you
really are. Because if you don't
how will people know who you really
are! One thing I know is don't judge
yourself god made you the way you
are!! That is what's important.
Don't let anyone fool you of
who you are.

I wrote this poem when I first came to this school because I was afraid that I wouldn't fit in with everyone else. So I hope you like what I wrote for you.....

Tha Pain...

He suffers from the pain
Not knowing where it came from
Not knowing what to do about it
How did it get here, when is it going to leave
The pain must be strong, if he won't let go
Not knowing what to say, not knowing what to think
Just looking sad like your heart was broken
Like there is nothing left of you to fill your heart
The pain must be strong, not knowing
What is wrong with you
Looking said like your heart was broken
Hopefully it's not
Hopefully everything is going to be all right
The pain should go away, the pain must go away
So, your heart can get filled with happiness
And so you dont' have to deal
With the pain, no more

I thought of this poem last year. Not sure what was going through my mind at the time, but this poem came out of my head so I wrote it down. hope you all like it...

Senor General Comrade Commissar Bumchuckles

You smell funny
Your teeth are crooked

Liar-Liar, pants on fire
Hang ‘em high on a telephone wire

Stick out your tongue
Got your nose
Lose my shoe
Show your toes

Baloney
Bologna
Hooves and lips
Crocodile tips

Cheese and crackers
Sour lip-smackers

The fickle cookie dough
Never seemed to make it to the oven
I laugh now
At the essence of being a child.

over

It’s the beginning of
a new era

I had enough
I thought you
should know

it’s over
I found something
Something better

With out hate
And sadness

I need to get over it
And you’re no help

You left me so
Depressed and mad

I’m over you
But can’t forget
The way you treated me

You used me than
Threw me away

I was going to add something in something in spanish. But for right now I'll leave it out.
